What this is
Council will review and discuss the city's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides federally funded assistance for community development activities.
Why it matters
CDBG funds support services and improvements that benefit lower-income residents, so the program's direction affects which community needs receive federal dollars.
